Question
Chapter 17.4, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether the person born with only one X chromosome and no Y chromosome would be a male or female.
Introduction:
Chromosomes are the threadlike structure which carries genetic information from the parent to the offspring, and the functional unit of chromosomes is called genes. There are 23 pair of chromosomes in a human being out of 23 pairs of chromosome 22 pair of chromosomes are called autosomes and one pair of chromosomes are called sex chromosomes.

A heterozygous woman carrying the recessive gene for red-green color blindness marries a man who is red-green color-blind. Assume the dominant gene is X (allele for normal color vision) and the recessive gene is X (determines red- green color blindness). The mother's genotype is XX, and the father's X^Y. Do a Punnett square to determine the answers to the following questions. According to the laws of probability, what percentage of all their children will be red-green color-blind? What is the percentage of red-green color-blind individuals by sex? % males; % females What percentage of all children will be carriers? What is the sex of the carriers? 2.

However, in familial Down syndrome, all or part of the third copy of chromosome 21 has translocated onto another autosome, typically chromosome 14. In cases of familial Down syndrome, one of the parents of the affected child is often a carrier of a translocated chromosome. The translocation carrier parent does not have Down syndrome because he or she has a total of two copies of chromosome 21. Suppose that a woman is a translocation carrier of chromosome 21 on chromosome 14. She conceives six zygotes with a normal man who carries no aneuploidies. Match the description of the chromosomes inherited by each zygote with the viability of the zygote. Viable normal, or translocation carrier Viable, with Down syndrome Inviable Answer Bank two normal copies of 21, one normal copy of 14 two normal copies of 21, two normal copies of 14 one 21 to 14 translocation, one normal copy of 21, two normal copies…arrow_forwardDeletion mapping: In your diploid model organism, one copy of the chromosome has all normal, dominant alleles of these genes.

Multiple Alleles Mendel studied just two alleles of his pea genes, but real populations of- ten have multiple alleles of a given gene.

First, you list all possible gametes each parent and subsequent parents can produce. Second, you then assign the gametes to a Punnett square and fill it in. Finally, you count the progeny and determine the number of progeny in each phenotypic category. Remember, when determining the types of gametes possible, each gamete must have one member of each homologous pair of chromosomes. This means there needs to be one copy of every gene. For example, if you are considering a T gene (ability to taste PTC) and an F gene (let's say earwax texture- wet earwax is dominant and dry earwax is recessive), each gamete must have one allele for the T gene (either T or t) and one allele for the F gene (either For f).arrow_forwardGenetics 181 Rule of Incomplete Dominance When two different pure-breeding strains are crossed, and their offspring show a blending of phenotypes, then neither allele is dominant. This is easily recognized when the phenotype is somewhere between two extremes. Counting the parents, there are three phenotypes (black, white, grey) being expressed in these flowers instead of only two, and that third phenotype is intermediate between the other two. This heterozygous condition is called incomplete dominance. 1. On the chart you did earlier, which of the three hair types (wavy, curly, or straight) represents incomplete dominance-the blended heterozygous condition? 2. You cross a herd of red cattle with white cattle and all of the calves appear to be roan (reddish white). Is this an example of incomplete dominance? How do you know? 3. You cross a blue flowering pea plant with a white flowering pea plant and all of the offspring are blue flowered. Is this an example of incomplete dominance? How…arrow_forward
